Why Oakwood SC

Our coaching staff is among the best in the industry, comprised of licensed professionals dedicated to implementing the Oakwood Soccer Club's specific player development curriculum. Our coaches undergo regular internal and external development training, ensuring they stay at the forefront of the game. We provide them with unique resources to continually enhance their professional knowledge, enabling them to deliver top-tier training sessions that are both innovative and effective. This commitment to excellence ensures that our players receive the highest quality coaching, tailored to their individual needs.

Our training schedule is designed to maximize player development. For our 11v11 teams (MLS Next, NEAL, Girls Academy, NAL), players train a minimum of three times per week, with the option for a fourth flex session tailored to team or player needs during the spring and fall seasons. Our 9v9 and 7v7 teams also benefit from three training sessions per week, with the U8 team training twice. In the winter, all teams continue to train twice per week, with non-high school teams guaranteed indoor facilities at the Oakwood Sport Center.

To further enhance their development, players will have access to specialized training opportunities, including position-specific sessions, indoor futsal, and international tours. These additional programs are designed to supplement their team training, providing a well-rounded experience that prepares them for every aspect of the game.

At Oakwood, we believe in a "person first" approach to player development. We recognize that our responsibility extends beyond just developing soccer players; we are dedicated to developing well-rounded individuals. Our programs are designed to help players reach their full potential both on and off the field, fostering qualities such as leadership, teamwork, and resilience that will serve them throughout their lives. The Oakwood soccer family is built on a foundation of mutual respect, support, and a shared commitment to personal growth and community.

We understand the importance of college exposure for our players, which is why we include a minimum of four college showcases as part of our annual tuition. Additionally, every U15-U19 player will receive a full Sports Recruits account at no extra cost, offering a comprehensive platform to support their collegiate recruitment journey.

For our U8-U12 players, we provide a complimentary Techne Futbol subscription to enhance their individual training outside of team sessions. Players also receive Player Progress Reports and actionable Individual Development Plans (IDPs) across the club, ensuring that every player and their family receive detailed feedback on their development.

Oakwood Soccer Club is proud to have a premier relationship with the world-class brand Nike. This partnership provides our players with elite apparel, cutting-edge equipment, and facility support that aligns with our commitment to excellence. Nike’s involvement ensures that our athletes have access to the best gear and resources, enabling them to perform at their highest level both in training and competition.

We are thrilled to actively engage with our local community and give back to those in need. Among our many initiatives throughout the year, we are particularly proud of our Youth Training Program, which offers fully funded, FREE access to U5, U6, and U7 players. This program reflects our deep commitment to nurturing the next generation of soccer talent from the earliest stages, ensuring that financial barriers do not stand in the way of young athletes pursuing their passion for the game.

With the launch of our bespoke Oakwood Soccer Club App, powered by our partners at League Apps, all scheduling and communications are now centralized and easily accessible. This means that important updates and information are always just a click away. Additionally, uniforms, along with club apparel, can be conveniently ordered online and delivered directly to your home through our vendor, SoccerZone USA, with new uniforms only required every two years.

We are pleased to announce a worldwide partnership with National Rental / Enterprise, offering Oakwood families exclusive savings on car rentals whenever and wherever they travel to support their players.

At Oakwood Soccer Club, we are more than just a soccer club—we are a community dedicated to excellence on and off the field. Join us and be a part of something special.
